Watergate & terms of 1973

Back on this date in October 1973, then-president Richard Nixon arranged to have Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox Junior fired. The story, for those too young to remember, unfolded like this:

After Cox, who was investigating the White House tapes, refused Nixon's offer to compromise on a subpoena, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Cox. Richardson refused and resigned. Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General Ruckelshaus to do the deed. Ruckelshaus likewise refused and resigned. Finally, President Nixon prevailed upon Solicitor General Robert Bork to pull the trigger. Cox lost his job; eventually, so did Nixon. The loss of so many solicitors so quickly on a weekend inspired the sobriquet Saturday Night Massacre.

That phrase suggests "an act of complete destruction," and in fact, the U.S. Justice Department was seriously damaged by the weekend's events. However, the linguistic legacy of that era isn't limited to the phrase Saturday Night Massacre.

Republican or Democrat, believer in executive power or advocate of democratic rule, word coiners can find a term born in 1973 to suit their political fancy. 1973 welcomed the verb fact check into print and it also saw the first print appearance of the noun feeding frenzy. Most memorably, 1973 was the year the term Watergate first appeared in print with the sense "a scandal usually involving abuses of office, skullduggery, and a coverup."

MATHEMATICS AND LOGIC

A few years ago I had occasion to set forth certain ideas about the logic of infinity, on the role of infinity in mathematics, and the use made of it since Cantor's time. I explained why I did not consider as legitimate certain methods of reasoning which various eminent mathematicians had believed they could employ.

Naturally I drew some sharp replies. These mathematicians did not believe they had erred; they believed they had the right to do what they had done. The discussion dragged on, not because new arguments arose ceaselessly, but because we kept going around in the same circle, each one repeating what he had just said, seemingly not having heard what the opponent had said. On each occasion, I was sent a new proof of the principle under contention in order, it was said, to be safe from all objection; but this proof was always the same, hardly revised. No conclusion consequently was reached.

If I should say that I was surprised, I would convey a false impression of my psychological acumen. Under these conditions, it hardly seems advisable to repeat once more the same arguments to which I could probably give a new form but which I could not change fundamentally, since it seems to me that my opponents have not even tried to refute them. It seems preferable to seek what can be the origin of this difference of mentality which engenders such divergent views. I have just said that these irreducible divergences had not astonished me, that I had foreseen them from the very beginning. But this does not exempt us from seeking the explanation; it is possible to foresee a fact after repeated experiences, and yet be very hard pressed to explain it.

Famous Cuckoo clock

Remember my September trip to Antwerp,Belgium for a conference? I have bought myself a decent Cuckoo Clock, small type rather and at reasonable price (Euro 85).What is so special about this famous clock?.

A cuckoo clock is a clock, typically pendulum-driven, that strikes the hours using small bellows and pipes that imitate the call of the Common Cuckoo in addition to striking a wire gong. The mechanism to produce the cuckoo call was installed in almost every kind of cuckoo clock since the middle of the eighteenth century and has remained almost without variation until the present.

Originally the design of Cuckoo clock is from German in county called black forest (as told), and later made famous in the entire Europe country. Friedrich Eisenlohr, who as an architect had been responsible for creating the buildings along the then new and first Badenian Rhine valley railroad (Munich to Amsterdam), submitted the most far-reaching design or rather larger Cuckoo clock.

How am i doing in Palestine/Israel - I

Holy snub, no wonder everybody put in their claim over these Country. It's fucking beautiful. If you wanna call heaven in the earth, or Eden or whatsoever, i reckon you to live and life once in these country. (Uhmm! No wonder Tel Aviv has became the top ten country must visited! not for the WAR but for VACATION)

My-weekend-day-out has never been so awesome. From floating over the dead sea, to walking along the Gordon Beach (see this for the real golden beach).The Gordon Beach at Tel Aviv is one of the most popular beach in Israel. The beach is nice and clean, and with plenty of amenities you can choose to relax in a lounger under the umbrella or just find a clear patch of sand and sun or if you prefer serene beach, Haifa bay is all yours. Despite the rumors on pollution and so.
The Sea of Galilee has some heavy spiritual influence, but part of the draw to this region of the world is the breathtaking scenery.Beyond the beaches, the area is full of historical sights, nature reserves, and walks along babbling brooks and streams full with loaded weapons 24/7 aiming the enemy on target.All not to be seen from ur berry eyes. No pictures is allowed from Golan Hill backward! how funny.

The truth picture of the 3rd highly celebrated or holy mosque for the Muslim was looking rather slummed. Covered there, plastered here, how i wish i could bring more cash money to gives to the poor or organized a free feast for everyone, after all this is the month of Syawal, the month we celebrate Eid-Fitr.

I am feeling rather reluctant, with what i could do to ease their burden. Remember! i am under their eyes! I am allowed to bring cash which is less than 2k USD. and require to provide all receipts during check out. Credit card purchases will be monitored closely. Item in and out need to be declared and to get authorization from the highest authority.

So, if you think that i have a lovely field trip!. Lets rephrase it. It is more like living in the Golden Cage.

I hope my research will be fruitful. They have everything i need.

p.s : I have lots of pic to share here, but since bloody blogspot is fuking ful of shit in asshole for infinity. i will put it in my facebook. my facebook is sufian steve. regards
